Young Turks sire SBTRKT DJd Glasslands here in Williamsburg the other night, and when he dropped Cruel Summer slammer “Wildfire,” the masked post-everything producer popped the crowd off with a tribally doctored refix of Drake’s essential remix.

You can catch a recreation of that scene — SBTRKT on drums, Sampha recreating any of his many LP-standout moments (minus Drizzy, probably) — at MoMA PS1 this afternoon.

Eminem is a pretty fit dude — for a while, he was even attached to star in Antoine Fuqua’s new boxing movie Southpaw. So how does Eminem stay a pretty fit dude? By working out compulsively.

Lollapalooza takes place this weekend in Chicago, and most of the sets from the festival will be livestreaming via Red Bull TV in case you can’t (or don’t want to) leave the comfort of your own home.
